By Michael Warhurst For the first time, EU regulatory experts on chemicals have recommended the classification of two chemicals using the new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors and persistent chemicals, which were introduced in 2023.

CHEM Trust’s vision is a world where wildlife and people coexist with a sustainable chemical industry and where chemicals play no part in causing impaired reproduction, deformities, disease, or deficits in neurological function. Our focus is on endocrine-disrupting chemicals, also known as hormone-disrupting chemicals.

CHEM Trust’s overarching aim is to prevent synthetic chemicals from causing long-term damage to wildlife and people by ensuring that chemicals which cause such harm are substituted with safer alternatives. We are a small, dynamic, and influential environmental NGO, working mainly at the EU and UK levels. We are science-based, working at the science and policy interface. We work closely with NGOs, scientists, and decision-makers in the UK, across Europe and globally.
